All,<br>
I first started reading our GreenBuilding list shortly after 1995 when I<br>
wrote to Alex Wilson about something. He kindly suggested the list back<br>
then (Norbert is correct; it was Crest backed). I've been a pretty<br>
consistent reader mostly lurker since.<br>
<br>
It has changed a lot but then the business and people's awareness of<br>
'green' has changed too. I have also learned a huge amount though the<br>
list. And pretty quickly recognized who to listen to and who to ignore.<br>
We built our current house through the help of one of the more prominent<br>
listers, albeit one who is knowledgeable but at the same time doesn't<br>
follow through very well. I was willing to experiment with materials back<br>
then but some large rather basic technical mistakes were made too. Hard<br>
way to learn a lesson.<br>
<br>
I do miss the original bunch of experts, few of whom remain. I love to<br>
read Rob Tom's postings for instance. (Don't believe he was among the<br>
originals either). John Straube's wisdom is always welcome as the final<br>
word about most anything.<br>
<br>
Building has changed a lot. Whoever heard of 'rainscreens' back then? And<br>
'tight' was hardly in the lexicon. All in all it's been a nice ride. We<br>
are now into building another house, a redo that has its own challenges.<br>
<br>
I don't know who are the brains behind this list now. For a while I helped<br>
administrate it, which is to say I occasionally told a few miscreants they<br>
could no longer post. But that was all. I can still do that but what we<br>
need is more regular content, regardless of the format. I suspect most<br>
have simply moved on to other platforms for information. The list I can<br>
get into does not indicate who has posted nor when however. I can get in<br>
touch with the person who asked me to help administer the list but I am<br>
pretty sure she has moved on too.<br>
<br>
I can view who is on the subscription list but it is long and I am not<br>
convinced it would help much because I suspect many don't read what comes<br>
through nowadays.<br>
<br>
(It is too bad we don't have a good archive of the useful postings we've<br>
seen over the years btw.)<br>
<br>
I don't know what to do about those people who don't have the courtesy to<br>
shorten their postings. But at the same time, it's pretty easy to delete<br>
the useless.<br>
<br>
Do continue the discussion; maybe something will come of it. I am willing<br>
to help it along too.<br>
